JPP, Kiwi, Tracy and Ojomo isn't bad. But if we get a chance at a potential monster I'm all for it.

That's what I was thinking. But why don't we actually get a better scheme. We rely way too much on the front 4. It's almost like there is the front 4 and if they are not effective, we are screwed because our scheme is pathetic!

I'd rather not worry about our front 4 because of the people above, and get a better scheme. Realistically, TC won't get rid of Fewell, but we can hope someone offers him a job. I am waiting for a DC to give us a good aggressive scheme.

I want Khaseem Greene so bad in the 2nd round. I think with him and Williams set up as our OLBs of the future we could develop a strong group of LBs. Add in Herz or if he doesn't pan out another MIKE and I love it. My current ideal draft is below

I'm down with Ansah, not in love with him like some people in this board, but the kid has the tools to be a prime Justin Tuck, if we pick him I'll be very confident in him making good on those tools. The way JPP is making good on all of his raw talent.

It is quite possibly he is one of the top prospects in the entire draft. He is a genuinely special talent has rare ability, much like Urlacher
I think Teo would allow us more flexibility and dramatically improve how our entire defence plays regardless of the scheme we use.

Sure we need help in other positions as well, but we can address them in later rounds.

If we were gonna do that, I wish we did it for Luke Keuchly, bc he was the sex on top of sex on top of Ray Rice's thighs.

Manti...I'm torn on him right now. I need to thoroughly scout him before I pass judgement. Part of me thinks he can be Brian Cushing, the other part of me thinks he could be a solid but not spectacular LB. Depends on his combine numbers.

But with all of our needs, I don't think we can afford to trade up this year. We have a lot of needs, this team needs to get overhauled soon, and we can't afford the luxury of going after 1 player.

In general I do agree with you.

But you could have easily made the same argument in 2004 when we traded up for Eli. I will admit I didn't like that trade, but you can't argue with the results. We have built the offense around Eli and been successful.

I guess the question is whether Teo the kind of player we can build our defence around? and how much would it cost to trade up.

QB is really the only position you should trade the farm for. This is a linebacker we're talking about.

As much as I loved Luke last year, and boy do I love Luke, look at who was available at LB in round 2 in the same draft:

-Michael Kendricks
-Bobby Wagner
-Lavonte David

All of whom would do great for us. Of the 3 Wagner would make the most sense bc he has the size we like and he's a MIKE.

But the point remains, you can find linebackers. We just do an awful job of scouting LBs as an organization but they're out there to have.

This draft is actually pretty good at LB, no need to sell the farm for 1.

That was my thinking previously, I just wanted to through the idea out there.

I was a big fan of Kendricks last year to be honest.

There are a lot of good LBs this year. Alot of them are undersized, but I guess that is the trend.
One player I am intrigued by as a MLB prospect for us is Chase Thomas, I suspect he may be more athletic.
